Finance major econ minor with a 3.1. Somehow I managed to take this resume to a big bank and finagled a job in wealth management for ultra high net worth individuals. I have passed all 3 levels of the CFA exams but I don’t have the charter as I have only been employed for 26 of the required 48 months. I reached out to UCLA for advice and introductions as well because they mention that the CFA is a plus.right now I am taking classes at Harvard extension school to make up for my lack of a math background. Enrolled in calc 2 then I plan on calc 3 spring semester.my main questions are, do you think I should take the GMAT or GRE? what other courses would be useful to makeup for a lack of quant background? And finally, I noticed that MIT Sloan has mixed reviews here but seems low on the list of 2020 rankings. Any chance my work experience might make up for this and give me a shot.</blockquote>
